Losses continue, it's bad. My partner Jeff thinks it's insufficient feeding, they get fed maybe 3 times per day and he thinks they need to be fed constantly. I made a really stupid mistake yesterday. I thought my little spice botle feeders I use with bangaii would do the trick. Dumb. Stupid. Didn't think it through. The baby we's can easily swim right through the 1/4" hole in the bottle cap. I came home to find dozens of them dead inside the bottle. Rats. I have maybe 100 left 4 weeks now.
I'm sure wq is not the issue. It is not aggression. I don't think it's food quality but well be quantity/ frequency. Or it could be something entirely differant like temp. They are at about 83F, maybe that's just not good for the species?

About 100 made it through the die off, they are now over 8 months old. Most have been sold, I still have about 20. I isolated two and sure enough they are showing signs of sexual maturity and pair formation. I do believe they are hermaphroditic at this age. I plan to isolate another 6-8 pairs to see if I can confirm this. I am also waiting to see at what age they can begin to spawn. If and when I close the loop and enough info on them I'll put together an article for FAMA or =.
Thanks.
David,
I'm no where near you, but I wish I were so I could come by and see your setup. I think what you are doing is amazing. They may be considered easy to breed and raise from a few standpoints, but where I am standing, I stand with admiration. It's awesome that you have successfully raised 100 of these little guys, and I hope you continue to do so. It's hobbyists like you that make this exciting. Congrats, and please continue to update this thread. I'm fascinated.
